Letter: Why is city listed on illegal gun website?

Was I surprised when cruising (former) New York City Mayor Michael Bloomberg's website, Mayors against Illegal Guns. Under Wisconsin was listed Manitowoc, Kaukauna and Algoma, to name a few locally.

All gun owners know that Bloomberg is not just against illegal guns, but against all guns. What's Manitowoc Mayor Justin Nickels official opinion?

Some guns are already illegal, such as sawed-off shotguns with barrels shorter than 18 inches or 26 inches in total length, or rifles with barrels shorter than 16 inches or 26 inches total length. A special permit is available for them from the Bureau of Tobacco, Alcohol and Firearms.

I didn't realize that these weapons were a problem in Manitowoc, or is the mayor against all guns. Maybe the mayor should be against illegal immigration, illegal drugs or human trafficking, instead of joining a group that has members who in themselves cannot own guns because of felonies they committed in office.

Now I see the mayor has Manitowoc listed to show his liberal supporters how progressive he is. Mayor Bloomberg has his own security body guards to protect him with a variety of firearms, which you and I don't. Have you walked through Washington Park on a Friday or Saturday night? Not without a BAR.
